CATH KIDSTON - celestial / back to uni

I've decided showcase new items at Cath Kidston today as they have created the prints for The Great British Bake Off merchandise which starts a new series tonight. But more interestingly they also have a new Celestial range picking up on what is one of the hottest print trends of the moment. These bold designs are aimed at teens setting up their new dorms and parents sending children off to University.

CATH KIDSTON - great british bake off

Tonight is the night for Bake Off fans as it returns for a 13th television series on Channel 4. This year they've teamed up with Cath Kidston to produce a range of tie in merchandise. Cath Kidston X The Great British Bake Off is a limited limited-edition collection that mixes the artistry of beautiful CK prints with the iconic catchphrases and visuals of The Great British Bake Off, now ingrained in UK popular culture. From the Showstopper and the famous handshake to the Bake Off Tent itself, their design team have lovingly taken inspiration from the show, blended with signatures from the Cath Kidston archives. Products include everything from cake tins to tea towels, plates, jugs, and even pyjamas!

PRINT THEME - initials

Have you noticed lots of gift items this season featuring initials? Monogrammed goods have been popping up all over and designers have found many creative ways to produce them. So for our Friday eye candy feature we look at a selection of products featuring intitals, starting with Debenhams who sadly it seems are likely to close down after over 240 years of trading.
